## Bricksforge: critical vulnerability
Severity: critical. Patch status: fix status unknown.
Affected: Bricksforge
Ids: CVE-2026-85097

The Bricksforge plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated arbitrary file upload in versions up to, and including, 3.1.8.9. This is due to insufficient validation of the attacker-controlled URL field in the 'temporaryFileUploads' parameter during form submission.

## Steps
1. Search the repo, its CI and infra config for Bricksforge. If present, report the version in use and whether it's affected.
2. Bricksforge <= 3.1.8.9: the CVE record names no fix; check the vendor advisory before assuming there is none. Until one ships: restrict network access to it.

## Fix by release line
| Line | State | Fix | Until then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bricksforge <= 3.1.8.9 | not named in the CVE record | check the vendor advisory: https://bricksforge.io/version-changelog/ | restrict network access to it |

## Report
A table: file, product or package, version in use, affected yes/no, exact fix. Then anything a human has to check outside the repo.
